Daily Devotions for Saturday 2nd January, 2021

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus.

Reading : JEREMIAH 33 verse 2

Meditation : take time to consider these words this Saturday morning.
What is God saying to you today from His Word about Himself?

Pray in response to the God of ours – the LORD

O LORD
Our God
Mighty and Holy One,
Receive our praise
Hear our prayers
And keep us on the right path we ask
As you walk with us this day
And month
And year
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Midday
Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your midday prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your Name.
Your kingdom come
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Now and for ever
Amen

Evening
Reading : read this verse again
Reflect prayerfully on the words ….. and then Pray in response
Especially for others who are seeking God at this time

Spirit of the Living God, hear our evening prayers at the end of this day
And be with those we name before you.
In Jesus’ saving name, Amen.
